The royal mile is a road that runs between the Edinburgh Castle and the Palace of Holyroodhouse. The street is lined with souvenir shops, but it's still a fun walk that can be free if you don't go shopping!

A stroll through a graveyard might not be your normal vacation activity, but this should be an exception. The gravestones are ancient and have inspired writers.
